Reality behind my smile

Hiding what I feel, Wish I was dreaming. How could this be real? I smile but I am breaking inside, I cant run. And there is no where to hide, I don't want to let these tears fall, Cause they would not stop, They would fall endlessly, And to the ground I would drop, Inside I would drown in sadness and pain, Only to still be smiling that fake smile again.
